The Wall of Death – while this resonates with me, I think that scope creep can sometimes be a good thing. I should write more on this subject at some point.

HTML output for commands – whenever I read about the cool things you can do with TextMate via a multi-step process and leveraging the flexible “write the feature yourself” architecture, it reminds me of the difference between a solution I build for myself and one that I put into a product that I ship.

A lot of folks freak out when they see a brand new feature in the product two weeks before the feature complete milestone. Yeah, it’s called feature creep and it’s hard to ship a moving target, but it’s worse to ship bits that are uninspired.
